N-Acetyl Cysteine Abrogates Silver-Induced Reactive Oxygen Species in Human Cells Without Altering Silver-based Antimicrobial Activity
2019-10-03
Abstract excerpt
Silver-based antimicrobials are widely used topically to treat infections associated with multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogens. Expanding this topical use to aerosols to treat lung infections requires understanding and preventing silver toxicity in the respiratory tract. A key mechanism resulting in silver-induced toxicity is the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this study, we have verified ROS gene...
